The 52 weeks project challenged Guardian readers to take one picture a week to reflect the news or something in their lives. More than 800 people took part via Flickr and the result is a whistlestop tour through 2012 including the Queen’s diamond jubilee, the Olympics and the changeable British weather, as well as birthdays, engagements and a year full of memories.

iPhone photos of the year
Photography apps which recreate the retro feel of a Polaroid photo set a trend for mobile picture sharing in 2011. On Flickr, communities formed around ‘iPhonography’ and InstaMeets became a worldwide phenomenon. The popularity for ‘hipstamatic’ effects also meant some of the biggest news stories of the year were seen through a phone lens using a variety of filters. We’ve taken a look through the Guardian archives and browsed through photos you’ve submitted to us on Flickr to find some of the best examples from 2011 - see them here.
To get involved: add your favourite 2011 phone photo with Hipstamatic effects to our Flickr group here.
